I don’t see an issue with this, and it’s because you have to look past the journalist thing. Each person, and Tumblr overall, is their own brand. For the money you pay, you’re getting branded content (kind of like a commercial).

Because I’m an orphan I deal with this two times a year – hooray! (sarcasm). You get over it. You learn to glide over these ads like every other ad that isn’t relevant to you. And I actually think that’s unfortunate because I could play the game of “Mom would have loved that” all day.
